One thing the author does not think about is end of life depreciation. When you retire and drain your investment funds they very quickly will disappear and stop producing value, especially at any sustained rate. A house has none of these issues. Costs are relatively constant. Rent on the other hand. Well. Anyone who rents knows the cost goes up and will keep going up, if not simply for increased utilities. Another way of course is to die quickly once you retire but then what’s the point of savings anyway?
